Deathblock

Description

Deathblock 🔗

Deathblock is a utility mod for Luanti (Minetest) that allows players to teleport back to their bones at their last death location. This is very helpful for retrieving the contents of their bones, or just to carry on what they were doing prior to death. Instead of a simple chat command, it provides a physical, craftable "anchor" that players can build into their base for easy item recovery.

Features 🔗

  • Automatic Tracking: No setup required. The mod automatically saves your coordinates every time you die.
  • Physical Utility: Right-click the Deathblock to activate the teleportation ritual.
  • Immersive Effects: Includes a two stage teleportation to the sky and then to the player's bones, custom sound effects and particle smoke for a "magical" teleportation experience.

How to Use 🔗

  1. Craft: Use the recipe below to create a Deathblock.
  2. Place: Secure the block in a safe location (like your home).
  3. Teleport: After a death, return to your Deathblock and right-click it. You will be transported to your last known coordinates.

Crafting Recipe 🔗

The Deathblock is an advanced utility intended for established players, requiring gathered bones and a Mese block to craft.
